Answer this question truthfully
### Question: What to expect if I have Epidermolysis bullosa  (Outlook/Prognosis)?
### Response: The outlook depends on the severity of the illness. Mild forms of epidermolysis bullosa improve with age.
In the severe forms, scarring after blisters form may cause:
Contracture deformities (for example, at the fingers, elbows, and knees) and other deformities Feeding and swallowing difficulties if the mouth and esophagus are involved Fused fingers and toes Restricted mobility from scarring
Very serious forms of epidermolysis bullosa have a very high mortality rate.
Secondary infection is common.
